- Start shared infrastructure from
monkeys/docker/infrastructure. - Start product services from
monkeys/docker/services, or run backend/frontend repositories directly for development. - Import any external tool service into Studio through its
manifest.json. - Create or open a workflow in Studio and test it from the UI or OpenAI-compatible API.
Use Deploy From Zero for a complete private environment, or Local Development when you are preparing a code contribution.
